21st Century Learning

Regardless of the area or district a student of today lives in, the acquisition of technology skills is a must to be successful in the global marketplace. Computer literacy needs to be an intricate part of the curriculum. What does that look like to a typical high school student? What electronic devices would they use and how? How could they demonstrate learning, understanding of the material without the standard ways of testing or writing a paper? Is there a way for them to use their cell phones to show understanding? What about a blog, a wiki or creation of a website? Today's students want to create their own media and they must have the problem solving and thinking skills to come up with new ways to learn.
